*Shakes his head* "Great StarClan, what am I supposed to do with you? Sweetbriar, it'll look wrong. You might not be an apprentice anymore, but now you're just a young, new warrior. I'm still your Clan leader. It isn't professioanl." ~ Falconstar

Falconstar has his reasons for things and I respect his decisions. This just means I'll get to train her even more to make sure she really leaves a good impression on him when she's ready. *touches his tail to her shoulder* I do know that you've left a very good impression on the clan as a whole. You've become an amazing warrior. -Scorchgaze

For StarClan sake Falconstar, I'm not asking you to proclaim your love for me in the middle of camp right this second. I'm asking to be your friend. And if after some time I do start having greater feelings for you I won't be fresh off my warrior ceremony. It's not like anyone in the clan would think differently of you for entertaining the idea that we could be friends. -Sweetbriar

"Ah, but they would think differently of me if we become too close, or actually became mates." *Shakes his head* "Sweetbriar, the point remains that I don't have any feelings towards you and I'm not about to risk that." ~ Falconstar

I'm not exactly sure if you've taken a good look at the couples in this clan and how they act, because I honestly don't think anyone has any room to judge anyone else. I have faith in the clan as a whole that our main goal is to support one another. *shrugs again* I understand that you don't have feelings for me now. *gets to her paws* But I'll tell you something I'm not willing to risk: I'm not willing to risk giving up so easily without at least giving it my best shot. So if you're going to fight me the whole way I suggest you dig your heels in deep, dear leader. -Sweetbriar

Because he sees it in you too.Please just do me a favor, try not to go chancing after him too. Dear old dad has enough on his plate already without worrying about two of my girls poking their heads into the lion's den. *rubs his face with a paw* -Scorchgaze

How kind of you Wrenflight. Yes, I do pride myself on being a good role model for my family. I also pride myself on being strong enough to protect them. It's a cruel world outside these walls, I hope with all of my knowledge on the ways of being a warrior has prepared you for them. You have an ever growing family and Clan to take care of now. Who knows maybe some day you'll have your own kits running around *smiles* My best piece of advice for then is to continue to be kind and noble just as you are -Brownnut

Ew no *gives him a diguested look* He was my mentor and we have had nothing but a very professional relationship. We respect eachother as clanmates should I have no desire to see him as anything other then a wise leader. -Applethorn

I'm just making sure. *pats her back with his tail* I'll chose to support you in whoever you love or if you chose not to take on a mate at all. I'm just saying your sister... your sister certainly made an interesting decision to say the least. -Scorchgaze

You have made me very proud not only as a mentor but as an uncle. I knew the moment I laid eyes on your brown pelt like mine that we would become good friends and that I wanted to pass down my legacy onto you especially. I know you will continue to amaze me with your courage and kindness and you start your life as a full-fledged warrior *smiles* -Brownnut

Poor Dad XD he has to worry about his daughter facing heart break while remaining professional. This is hard for him too lol. Thanks Falconstar!! XD

He's going to fight me all the way through this. *huffs and relaxes slightly around her friend, her posture becoming a little more defeated* This is going to be one exhausting "friendship." -Sweetbriar

Odds are it will be. *chuckles* when I said your sister's choice was interesting I meant she picked the most stubborn cat in the clan. -Scorchgaze

Hey now, he didn't ask for this! Seriously though, does Sweetbriar have, like, a full-proof plan on how to win him over?

*Wrinkles her nose* "If he'll even call it a friendship... what are you going to do? You need to spend time with him, but now that you're a warrior - congrats, by the way - you can't really use the whole 'training excuse'. And Falconstar doesn't patrol very often." ~ Berryfrost

I was I did it for your mothers sake she loved him at the time and having him support her through having you all I thought would benefit her and benefit you all once you were born. To have a deputy father would have given you a good role model to look up to -Brownnut

Not at all XD I don't even know how to break him! She and I both are playing this by ear lol.

*thinks for a moment* Well, if I can't get to him on his own allowance I'll have to be a little more sneaky about it. *turns her gaze toward her father* Falconstar might not be the one to bend for my kitten eyes, but I know someone who always will. *grins at her friend* It helps to have a father who is deputy and who assigns every patrol and task. -Sweetbriar

Sheep was my original name and fluff came from my very long fur *laughs a bit* my brother actually called me Fluffs as a joke and I guess it stuck with Scorchgaze I love my name really it's who I am fun loving and different -Sheepfluff

Yes they've been best friends since we've arrived *laughs a bit at thought* You know your dad actually tried coming onto me once many moons ago before you kits. I of course said no and he respected it just funny now after everything -Brownnut

Maybe not exactly force it, but there are other ways in which I can be around him. His den needs cleaned like all the others, his nest moss exchanged and when he is on patrol there has to be at least three other warriors with him. Four is the perfect number for splitting off into pairs. -Sweetbriar

*shakes his head slightly* I guess that's where the girls get their blunt honest, huh? -Wrenflight

"Well... Shiverpaw and Rainpaw will still be in charge of that, but the patrol idea could work." *Her ears perk up* "What if... someone scented something 'suspecious' in the territory and reported it to Falconstar? I'm sure he'd want to check on it personally, and then you could convince Scorchgaze to put you on the patrol! And if you're the youngest member, I'm sure he would feel responsible and keep you with him?" ~ Berryfrost
